Burnley FC on parade at Wembley in the 2009 Championship Play-Off Final and a photo of the hallowed ground of Turf Moor. I’m in the top half of the first photo somewhere, could be a little difficult to spot with ~36,000 other people there at the same time .

Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, we’re going to Wembley, que sera sera

While Burnley are certainly on their way to the grand old (considerably less old since they decided to pull it down and start again ) national stadium it is always a little concerning as a supporter to know if you are going to get tickets to the big games such as Wembley. I’m pleased to report that I managed to get tickets this morning after they were released to the general public .

I’m also well aware of the ongoing saga with TicketZone and their handling of the sudden flow of Burnley supporters wanting tickets this morning and not coping with demand; I do hope that those genuine supporters who want tickets are able to get them rather than the touts gaining the upper hand and snapping up a large allocation to sell for a ridiculous profit on their part. Clearly demand is high, if the sums are correct then some 14,000 tickets that were available on general allocation from this morning at 9am have already sold (the website was completely off-line and more pure luck than judgement at getting a space in the queue on the phones when I claimed mine at 10:30am)

If you do happen to support the Clarets and have managed to get tickets, I’ll see you there .
